Researchers call for a dedicated law requiring platforms to remove revenge porn.

X (formerly Twitter) claims that non-consensual nudity is not tolerated on its platform. But a recent study shows that X is more likely to quickly remove this harmful content—sometimes known as revenge porn or non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII)—if victims flag content through a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown rather than using X’s mechanism for reporting NCII.

    In other words, the consent of a corporation is more important than the consent of a human being… for the public distribution of that human being’s likeness in an intimate context. Holy dystopia, conservatives are fucked in the head.

    Xitter might as well call it the “Maybes and Conditions” with how much they cherrypick their T&Cs nowadays

    Everyone should just share the image of Elon before his hair plugs and watch how fast it gets taken down.

    Trash headline. The study found that MORE takedown requests were fulfilled by sending DMCA takedowns instead of the (probably non-functioning) NCII takedown request mechanism on Twitter. Nowhere does it say they will only take down revenge porn if you send them a DMCA.

      I’m not sure how you can miss the point while simultaneously spelling it out at the same time. Quite the feat.
